This position is based onsite at one of our primary hubs.

You will:

• Serve as the Local Stakeholder POC: Act as the primary security liaison for local tactical teams, including Fleet Operations, Facilities, and EHS, to resolve daily operational frictions.
• Triage Local Issues & Communicate Trends: Act as a primary communicator to triage site security problems, identify operational efficiencies, and track security trends to keep both stakeholders and security leadership informed.
• Monitor Compliance: Conduct frequent site security walks and inspections to verify compliance with Waymo’s site security requirements.
• Support Process Execution: Implement and sustain localized security workflows that support high-volume vehicle movements without compromising safety.

You have:

• 4+ years of progressive security experience in a corporate or industrial environment

• Hands-on experience with incident response and emergency coordination in a fast-paced environment.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills with a focus on problem-solving and customer service.
• Ability to work onsite daily and move between multiple locations within a metropolitan area.
